St. Asaph Board of Guardians. DEATH OF THE LLANDDULAS OFFICER. AN ABERGELE INDOLENT WHO COULDN'T GET LODGINGS. The fortnightly meeting of the above Board was held on Friday, presided over by Mr Edwin Morgan, J.P. The following members were present Mr Howell Gee, the Rev. E. Lodwick-Ellis, Messrs. S. Perks, G. F. Gunner, Hugh Edwards, Isaac Batho, Wm. Morris, Llew. B. Evans, W. S. Roberts, John Pierce, J. R. Ellis. David Roberts, Owen Rees, Hugh Hughes, John Morris, J. D. Jones, Maurice Jones, Robert Davies, J. Ellis Jones, Hugh Williams, Robert Jones (Denbigh), William Williams, R. E. Griffiths, Bennett Jones, T. Salusbury, John Roberts, Thomas Hughes, J. Francis Jones, Robert Jones (Prestatyn), and John Lothian, the new member for St. Asaph, in place of the late Mr T. Howes Roberts, with the Clerk (Mr Charles Grimsley), the Master (Mr Robert Jones), and the Relieving Officers. WELCOMING A NEW MEMBER. The Chairman welcomed our New Member," Mr John Lothian, and he was sure it would be a hearty welcome from the members. He thought if Mr Lothian followed in the steps of his predeces- sor he would not go far wrong. Mr Lothian thanked the Board, and thought he would not go far wrong in his duties. THE SHILLING EXTRA GRANT TO OUT-DOOR PAUPERS. Mr S. Perks said he was sure they all regretted the absence of their Vice-Chairman, who was indisposed, and he wished therefore to move the resolution in his name that they grant One Shilling extra relief at Christmas to out-door paupers. It had been the custom for two or three years to give it, and it would be a little comfort to those who were trying to be happy and joyous. In Rhyl they had one or two excellent friends of the poor who distributed cheer amongst them, and he would like recipients in Rhyl to have their gift in the New Year. The Rev. Lodwick-Ellis, of Bettws, Abergele, said they in his parish had also some good friends who lavished charities at Christmas and he would like Bettws to be as Rhyl-to receive the gift in the New Year. Mr Bennett Jones suggested giving the gift in kind. The Chairman thought they could not give it legally. Mr Ellis thought they ought to give in kind if it was a little extra trouble. Mr Bennett Jones seconded. The Clerk: It will create a great difficulty to give in kind. Mr Pierce (Abergele) said they had taken into consideration the enormous work that the giving in kind entailed, and after the pros and cons had been discussed they decided to give the shilling in cash. Mr Robert Jones suggested that they leave it to the discretion of the relieving officer. The Rev. E. Lodwick-Ellis seconded. The Clerk said there were 800 cases to be relieved, and the work would be very difficult for the relieving officer. It was ultimately carried that it be left to the discretion of the Relieving Officer, one member stating that the Relieving Officer will get into hot water and I should not like to be him," and another member declared, referring to the same official, He won't be alive." THE CHEERING OF THE INMATES. The Chairman said that Mrs De Ranee, and Mr Woodword, of Meliden, had each sent a cheque for a guinea for Christmas cheer for the inmates. He (the Chairman) wished to propose a hearty vote of thanks to them for their generosity, which was passed. The Rev. Lodwick-Ellis Are the subscriptions publicly solicited ? The Chairman: No. "WE CAN'T GO BACK TO CANDLES." The Clerk stated that a report had been prepared by the Master (Wm. Jones), respecting the cost of the maintenance of the electric lighting of the -Workhouse. In 1903, when oil lamps were used in the buildings, the cost was £ 16 3s. 5d. The cost of the electric lighting (maintenance only) of the old and new buildings of the workhouse was estimated at £24 10s. od. Mr Grimsley explained that there was a sum of £ 1000 borrowed for the generating plant and works and the repayment of that sum had to be considered, which covered a period of thirty years at 3-I per cent. interest. The repayment of principal and interest per annum amounted to about £ 55. The Committee had reported that it was very satisfactory. Mr Pierce (Abergele) explained about the adding of more lamps since the estimate of oil in 1903 had been done. Mr Gunner said as long as they had their present Master, Mr Jones, they would not experience much difficulty as regards the working; but if they should be so unfortunate as to lose him they would have to engage an engineer at about £2 a week, and he thought it was time to consider the matter. Mr Jones had not asked for an advance in his salary. If they gave him a bonus of £ 100 it would not be a penny too much for the services he had rendered to the Board with the electric lighting of the place. Mr Perks explained that a place in Rhyl had been worked on a much less cost than the suggested I £ 2 a week. The Chairman said they were only considering I the cost of bare maintenance. 9 After further discussion, The Chairman said he was personally against the introduction of the electric light into the building. Mr J. D. Jones (Bodoryn) I don't think we can go back to candles." (Loud and continued laughter). ILLNESS OF MRS. WILLIAMS, RELIEVING OFFICER. It was reported that Mrs Williams, of Abergele, was indisposed, and Mr M. R. Jones, had come as her deputy for the day. Enquiries were made as to the prosecution of the duties during her illness, and regret was expressed at her indisposition. DEATH OF THE LLANDDULAS ASSIST- ANT OVERSEER. It was reported that Mr Thomas Williams, the Assistant Overseer for the parish of Llanddulas, had succumbed at the Royal Infirmary, Liverpool, and that he was being buried that day. The Clerk said that for thirty-four years Mr Williams had been a very able officer of the Union. The Chairman said they were all sorry to lose an old and valued officer, and he moved a vote of sympathy with the family in their bereavement. Mr J. D. Jones (Bodoryn) seconded, and it was carried. AN ABERGELE "WEARY WILLIE." A well-haired and whiskered man, named Isaac Jones, advanced in years, appeared before the Board, who thought he ought to try and get work outside and not be in the house. He was a labourer from Abergele. Mr Ellis (Abergele) said that the man could not i get a place to sleep unless he went to a loft. He thought something ought to be done in the way of obtaining lodging houses for vagrants. The lodging house at Abergele had become a disgrace to the town, and it was being done away with. If this man is sent away he might be sleeping in my yard." (Laughter). Isaac Jones said in reply to queries that it was hard to get any work, and it was harder to get a place to sleep in than it was to get work. Mr Pierce (Abergele) was of opinion that the man could get lodgings if he only looked after himself. You know," said Mr Pierce, what he does with a sixpence when he gets it ? Mr Gunner He milks it. (Laughter). The Master said that there were many men who left the Union ostensibly to seek for work, and when they saw the Cathedral Tower disappearing they seemed to lose heart and come back again. A member suggested the getting of a field and to provide work for these men therein. There was a good market and a good opening for the sale of the goods produced. They could put these able- bodied persons there, and they would only remain a short time if they were made to work. No respectable person would take Jones in. Mr John Roberts (Llwyni) explained the reason that he suggested the bringing of the man before the Board was that there was a strong opinion that he ought not to be there. Can't we prosecute a man for not maintaining himself? The Clerk If he has received the offer of work and refused it. Mr John Roberts When he (Jones) gets work he spends his earnings in drink and comes back to the house. Mr Ellis (Abergele) proposed that they leave him in the house until after Christmas. He had never believed Isaac to be llawn llathen (full yard) as he was soddened with drink which further weakened his mind. It was resolved to let Isaac receive the hospitality of the workhouse until the end of 1907. THE "EARMARKING" OF UNION CHILDREN. Mr Robert Jones (Denbigh) called the attention to the dressing of the children. Seven years ago it was decided to dress the children with as little conspicuousness of Unionism" as was possible. He did not know what it was that caused it in particular; but there was something that made the children show the stamp of the Union upon them. The Master said they had had Welsh tweed for the children, velveteen jackets and corduroy trousers. Mr R. Jones said it was what he styled the "earmarking of the children that he objected to. Mr Pierce (Abergele) said there had been drastic changes in dress and the variety of it with the children. He would not like to see them better dressed than they were at present. Mr John Roberts (Llwyni) The fault is not with the clothes, nor with the children but with those people who looked down on them. He was proud to look upon the children of the house.'

Prize Distribution at Conway Girl's School. PERCENTAGES v. ALL-ROUND MERIT. The Vi-oar (the Rev. J. W. Roberts) presided at a well attended meeting held at (the Girls' School on Monday evening, when a large num- ber of attendance prizes were distributed by His Worship the Mayor amongst the scholars. The addresses delivered were interspersed by songs, recitations, and drills-, ably rendered and performed by the scholars. The: Vicar, in his opening remarks, com- mented upon the value of punctuality as a merit that ultimately made for faithfulness in the dis- chiargte of duty, and showed by means of il- lusitraitionis how almost all great men had in their earlier years been faithful and loyal to those movements with which their names had I in after life been associated. The Mayor in the course of the distribution observed that he thought it was a mistake on the part of the Education Authorities to lay down such a ha.rd-and-fasit rule as regards who were to receive prizes. As things were, a child who had made all possible attendance except when detained at home by illness, rarely got anything, and if he could imagine of one case more than another where the teacher should be allowed to use her discretion, it was a case of that kind. The highest percentage on the re- come under that head. As a matter of fact, he have to be remembered that Ihere was a merit which ought to be rewarded that would not dome under :tha,t head. As a matter of fact, he had for some tilme. now come to the conclusion that the present system was a harmful onie in very many important respects. (Applause.) Miss Jones, the headmistress, in the course of a timely and suggestive speech, observed that she felt that there was a good deal to be said for the view suibmitJted to them by the Mayor. On behalf of the scholars who had not won prizes she would like it to be distinctly under- stood that isiome of them had been little heroines in the matter of attendance. (Hear, hear, and applause.) Physical ailments or bad weather even had not kept some of those scholars at hofhe. Proceeding, -Miss Jones dwelt in the most interesting irianner upon the salient features of the education of the child, pointing out that the trend in modem times was not sO much to exam with book facts, as to nurse strong characters, and so train the mind of the child that it can, examine the facts for itself by a process of introduction. Education began soon after a child's birth, and the early ideas soon developed into habits. As it was said that "ha/biit maketh the man. it behoved all parent"? to. co-operate with tihe teachers in imparting correct ideas. Towards the close of the address Miss Jones touched upon the importance to girls when they grew up of tidiness in all thing's, and many parents could greatly assist the teiachers iin this matter by sleleing that infants were not sent to school morning and afternoon with one mass oif curl papers in the hair in order that they might appear like butiterfles for an hour or so in the evening. (Hear, hear, and ap- plause.) Children should be tidy all day. On the motion of the Vicar a cordial vote of thanks was accorded the Mayor for presenting the prizes and to Miss Jones and the children for the excellent programme1 they had provided.

The prize list was as follows— First class: Alice Nevitt, ioo Sarah Nevitt, 100; Maggie Bethel, 100; Mary Elizabeth Hughes, 100; Mary Jones, 100; Jane Ellen Hughes, 100; Mary Griffith, 99.7.

Mr. Bell and the L. & N. W. R. The London & North-Wesitern Railway Com- pany declare that so far as they are concerrned there is no truth ini the assertion made by Mr. Richard Bell, M.P., Secretary of the Amalga- mated Society of Railway Servants, in his speech at Willesden on Sunday night that the Railway Companies are going to much expense to secure the return of non-union men on the Conciliation Boards. "But, of coturse," an official of the Company said on Monday, "it is quite possible the irre- sponsible official,s, entirely on their own ac- count, may be taking steps to influence the men."

I St. Asaph (Denbigh) Rural District Council. COSTS WITH THE ABERGELE FOOTPATHS. THE SUPPLY OF HYDRANTS FOR LLAN- DDULAS. Mr Bennett Jones presided over the monthly meeting of this Council on Friday. ELECTING A FINANCE COMMITTEE. The Chairman moved according to notice of motion, that they have a Finance Committee to deal with the financial matters of the Council. Mr Roberts (Llwyni) was averse to the election of such a committee, and he thought it would serve the purpose of a finance committee if the bills were placed first on the agenda of the ordinary Council meeting for consideration. A vote was taken after further discussion, and six voted for and six against. Mr Roberts (Llwyni) looking anxiously at the Chairman You are not surely going to vote for yourself ? The Chairman Of course I am. The Finance Committee was therefore elected by the casting vote of the Chairman. The Committee was elected as follows The Chairman, the Rev. Lodwick Ellis, Mr Morris Jones, Mr J. D. Jones (Bodoryn), Mr T. Salesbury. THE SCAVENGING OF LLANDDULAS. The Clerk reported the cost of scavenging the village for the month to be Ci 15s. THE ABERGELE FOOTPATHS QUESTION- The Clerk read a bill for out of pocket expenses of Mr Millward of £ 13 7s 5d in connection with the above matter, and £ 10 15s 6d for plans. Mr J. D. Jones Did we as a Council instruct Mr Millward ? The Chairman said that before they as a Council took the case up those plans were made. The Clerk: No. Mr Roberts (Llwyni): We could have got in the ordnance map for about 3s 6d, which is there before us. The Clerk No. Mr Lodwick Ellis The whole thing came from the Parish Council. The Clerk It was their duty to investigate and to take the necessary steps. Their (the Parish Council) duty would end when they (the Rural District Council) took the matter up. Mr J. D. Jones The matter did not end there, else those plans would be ordered by the Council. The Clerk Without plans we could not submit the case. The Rev. L. Ellis: Whatever was not ordered by us should be paid by the Abergele Parish Council. We should wash our hands of it altogether. Mr Roberts (Llwyni) seconded. Mr J. D. Jones (Bodoryn) Owing to the action of the Parish Council we will have to pay £ 60 or [100. The Clerk said in reply that they had paid Mr Lloyd, their solicitor. [55. It transpired that the cost of the workmen in re- moving the obstructions was between [II and [12. Mr J. D. Jones did not think the Parish Council had a right to put stiles and anything on foot- paths, putting an obstruction and pulling it down again, and they wanted the Rural District Council to pay for everything. It was owing to them that they had to pay the bills. Surely there were more to come. If they paid Mr Millward's out of pocket expenses, they would also have their own clerk to pay, and he did not know whether it would end there. He supported Mr Ellis. Mr John Roberts (Llwyni) said Mr Jones put everything on the Abergele Parish Council. There was not a single bill ordered by the Parish Council, and he submitted that the Rural Council had blundered in the matter. Mr J. D. Jones said that if they had not done what they had done for two or three months they would have been put to more expense, and he did not agree with Mr Roberts when he said it was a blunder to see Mr Scott. Mr Roberts was utterly wrong in saying that the deputation that met Mr Scott had blundered in the business. He thought their work was very good. g The Clerk said he must say that the delay was most fortunate from what he understood afterwards. The resolution was passed, Mr Roberts voting for it, for they." said he, have not ordered a single thing yet." THE HYDRANTS FOR LLANDDULAS. The Clerk read the application of Llanddulas through their Parish Council for hydrants for the village. They as a Parish Council had no power for the provision of those powers, but they had observed the necessary forms for the obtaining of those powers, which would come into force on the 23rd inst, and the order had been issued that was necessary to have the hydrants placed. He (the Clerk) had asked the question as to the main and found that there was only a two inch main in Llanddulas, and it was useless to put a hydrant on less than a 3 inch main. Still the Parish Council were anxious for it. Now it remained as to what way to go about it ? At what part were the hyd- rants wanted ? T WATER SUPPLY OF LLANDDULAS. The Clerk submitted a report by Mr Storr upon the proposed new water supply from Glasgoed to the foot of Bodelwyddan Hill, and which would give a separate supply to Llanddulas. The report covered six sheets of foolscap, and the Clerk sug- gested having a copy made of the report for each member of the sub-committee appointed to deal with the work, and said that he would arrange about Rhyl.—This was agreed to.

The Bishop of St. Asaph and Socialism. Mr. N unn writes as follows to the "Man- chester Guardian" Sir,—After the letter of my fellow-Fabian in to'day's "Manchester Guardian'' the Bishop of St. Asaph, in the spirit of noblesse oblige, will surely admit that he has done Mr. Blatchfoird an injustice. The Rev. D. C. Owen is, I suppose, joking when he asks me to take the decision of the arbitrator ex farte and then he will accept it 01 not as he chooses. If Sir Oliver Lodge is not a satisfactory .arbitrator, will Mr. Owen suggest another? 85 Mr. Owen is good enough to tell us what the "Methodist Times" "can only have intended to mean." Ih. Blatchford's writings, and still more his life, prove that when he talks of attacking religion he "can only mean" ortho- doxy. It would be a poor outlook for any re- ligion if it were not from time to time attacked. Buddha attacked Brahrnamsm and gave Asia a far purer ethical code. Socrates attacked the religion of Greece and died for it. Christ attacked Phariseei,smthe orthodoxy of Juda- ism, as Tolstoy calls it in his Gospel in Brief." Then Paul, the founder of Christianity as it now exists, attacked Naziarenism the orthodox Christianity of his day and dealt hard blows at Peter, James and John. And so the line of honest heretics goes on down to Father Tyrrell and R. J. Campbell of our day. But attacking a thing is not sweeping, nor even wanting to sweep, the thing off the face of the earth. And there is a wide1 gulf between attacking the particular phrase of a particular religion which in times past has been responsible for, amongst other things, witch-burning and the slave trade, and in these days is the main- stay of militarism, millionairism, and misery, and sweeping off the earth that religion which is defined by James and which is expressed in. the opening words of the first epistle in Mr. Owen's Prayer.book Owe no man anything, but to love one another. For he that loveth is of God.Yours.. &c., FRAS. NUNN. Colwyn Bay, December 10th.
